Nagasarete Airantou ep.8
Ikuto, you really have to grow up and let the girls investigate you buddy. They just wanna see what a guy is made of... Funny episode with some silly hijinks going on with the giant bath. They are just curious, so you shouldn't make the girls mad by not allowing them to share a bath with you..

Wow thats a good luck & logic, hopefully it makes it in the 2nd season.
That would be pretty fantastic! I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

I'm caught up with all the shows I'm watching this season, but I wanna watch another episode of something. Twin Star Excorsists - Yea or Nah?
I imagine it boosting the manga has more of an impact, and it has boosted sales quite a bit from what I can tell.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Soma had good ratings it just didn't sell BD like gangbusters. The manga sales went up by a LOT.

WarCraft
For a movie that took 10 years to make, came out 7 years too late and started at fucking Orcs and Humans it could've been way worse. It's no Battlefield Earth.

But is it worth watching if you don't care about World of Warcraft?

Fuck no. The novelty of the entire thing relies on the fact that a WarCraft movie actually came out in 2016.
Yeah but...orcs...Durotan looked cool...
edit: only reason its compared to battlefield earth is that one review that said it was as bad as BE

It's no battlefield earth sounds like a backhanded RLM compliment.

Jojo's confirmed for 39 episodes for the entirety of Part 4.

rough translation is "As in the july issue of Animage Diamond is Unbreakable is revealed to be 3 cour all 39 episodes. Quickly run through to the end!"

Isn't that what matters though? It all comes down to the manga getting a major boost after the anime hits.
That's pretty short right? Considering how Part 3 was 50 episodes long.

Am I watching a hybrid version of Danmachi or something? Like, the same type of names keep popping up, like Wallenstein Guild or whatever.
At this point, Ako is increasingly becoming a little unbearable with her whole clinginess. Man, even Nanako is more enjoyable even though she isn't around much.
Oh, Apricot. Not suited for PvP, lol.
"Mm-hmm."

For the publishers, sure. However, if you personally made something that caused some other thing that you had no hand in to explode in popularity while what you made didn't do all too well, one might feel a little peeved.
Granted, it's known that many anime are used as advertisement for their source material so what I said probably doesn't really matter much in the grand scheme of things.
I also wonder if at AX this year, Sentai gives an update on LOGH and Nozomi gives an update on Utena BDs.
Gunbuster me to heaven if that ever happens.

We did some number crunching in the manga thread and we were able to get pretty close to crunching it down to 39 episodes. They've done a lot of no OP/ED already too so I can totally see it happening.

Where do I even begin? At least it entered 'so bad it's good' territory.

I wonder if I'll enjoy it as someone who gets 100% of their Warcraft lore from Hearthstone. They should just ditch the trilogy and focus on the Overwatch animated series tie in instead.

Original anime Izetta, Die Letzte Hexe announced.
Mahou Shoujo x WW2 background i guess.

Yeah, so she's French i guess.
Maybe that's why French lose so quick, spend time to create some Mahou Shoujo, not improve their tactics.

Weird they're going the mahou shojo route, that PTRS-41 would be grand for knocking out most Barbarossa era German armour, certainly for the Pz III in the poster. Still the battle scenes seem good from the trailer, will be fascinating to see how/if they choose to deal with the einsatzgruppen and the 'anti-partisan' operations that killed so many civilians and were such a part of that war.
Edit: My mistake. 1940 is Operation Yellow so her having the PTRS-41 is just anachronistic (also French helmets in the trenches), well no hope of them trying much interesting here. Oh and the time travelling PTRS-41 will wreck all German armour of this era, mostly Pz. I & II with a sprinkling of IIIs and IVs.

Music reminds me of Go Sakabe.

I mean; the French military put in a shit ton of work during both World Wars, probably more than any country on the Allies side of things. Maybe Mahou Shoujo were the reason.

Sounds like a 20th century version of Joan of Arc then. (And we know Japan really likes Joan of Arc for some reason.)
Could end up a better World War II anime than Joker Game!

We finally find out the real reason the French lost. They spent too much time making magical girls.

You know I wasn't expecting a festival episode but I was down with it. Hibiki finally got that kiss too! Sort of!

Just because it involves a magical girl doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be light-hearted in any significant way - certainly that trailer doesn't give any indication that it will be.

Yeah the PV definitely has a more serious vibe but we all know that doesn't preclude wacky elements. I'm cautiously hopeful but I'm also fully prepared for an anime where I get awesome battle scenes and terrible everything else

So Chidori's rage from Kiznaiver because of Katsuhira sends her back in time to WW2 uh.
Jokes aside, looks pretty, sounds cool, but way too soon for me to judge it. I'll keep an eye out for this.

A magical girl anime set in WWII does sound like a neat new concept, and I don't think you can really make a story about WWII all that light-hearted.
However, I'm looking forward to Flip Flappers more than this. That show looks like to be an actual light-hearted magical girl adventure show not based off a LN, and those kinds of shows aren't made all that often nowadays.
